HANLEY CENTENNIAL COMMUNITY CENTRE

Book now for your event to make sure you get the date you want. Bookings will be taken at the Hanley Town Office @ (306) 544-2223 or email townoffice@townofhanley.ca.

Please remember when you have booked the hall/clubroom/kitchen that clean-up rules are posted on the kitchen cupboard along with how to manage the dishwasher! The caretaker is only for daily touch-ups not the thorough cleanings that have been required following some functions.

If you are attending a function, including curling bonspiels or evenings, please monitor your children. We have had quite the expense with plugged toilets and rolls of toilet paper needlessly unrolled in the washrooms.

The Centennial Committee applied for and were successful in being granted $15,000 in matching fund-ing through the Canada 150 Fund. The committee applied for a new security door, lighting throughout the build-ing, a new ladies washroom door and a new vanity/cupboards/sink in the treatment room in the Health Office (aka Chiro Office).

CEMETERY COMMITTEE The cemetery gate was welded and painted this summer and the town foreman continues to keep the grass mowed and whipper snipped. A maintenance day is tentatively planned for Thursday, October 8th, starting at 4:00 pm. Several full grave covers will be removed and leveled with dirt. Bushes will be trimmed and low spots will be dirt filled. If you are able to help, please bring whipper snippers, rakes, shovels, hedge trimmers. Watch for posters. Many of the full grave covers are deteriorating. For this reason, ease of maintenance and future intern-ments, we would like to work toward removing these covers. If there is a cover on your loved one’s grave, please email the town office at townoffice@townofhanley.ca or contact one of the cemetery committee, telling us whether you give permission to remove it. Donations to the cemetery are tax deductible and can be made at the Hanley Town Office. If you have questions or concerns, please contact one of the cemetery committee: Cathy Thall (dthall@sasktel.net), Sylvia Kroeger (544-2884), Joyce Armstrong (544-2581 or j.armstrong@sasktel.net)

A Brand New Day When you awaken in the morning

And see the brightness of the morning sun, Lock the door on yesterday

And throw away the key. For God has given you a brand new day,

Another day of love and laughter. Seize each moment before it flies away,

For sweeter than the fragrant flower is each precious golden hour.

Make today your best day, The power is yours alone.

Make today the happiest and the best you’ve ever known. Yesterday is gone, as in a dream, Tomorrow is a vision still unseen.

Today is yours to live, Its treasures you can use. It can be your best day, It’s up to you to choose!

FIRE PROTECTION

MODERN HOUSES BURN FASTER

Research over three decades has shown that modern homes may be making house fires more deadly than ever before.

Newer homes and furnishings are made with more synthetics which make fires ignite and burn faster. They also re-lease more toxic gases when burned. Most fire victims die from smoke or toxic gases and not from actual burns. Dead-ly conditions are reached much more quickly now than in the 1970s when more natural materials were used in home and furnishings.

Over thirty years ago, an important study conducted tests in actual homes with sizes and floor plans, furniture and items, and smoke alarms on the market. That report concluded smoke alarms generally provided the necessary escape time for different fire types and locations. This research led to the popular use of smoke alarms in residential settings.

A more recent 2005 study found a troubling difference with the previous investigation. The amount of safe escape time was consistently shorter and the fire growth rates were faster. It is thought that synthetic materials currently found in homes contributed to this change. The study concluded that because fires could be more aggressive, the time needed to escape home fires has been reduced from approximately 17 minutes to as little as three minutes.

This gives less time for occupants to escape a fire and is shorter than the seven minute response time target for fire services. This disparity can mean the difference between life and death.

In May 2008, Alberta Municipal Affairs launched a public education and awareness campaign to make citizens aware of the three-minute window of safety in a house fire and the seven minute fire services response time. In rural areas served by volunteer fire departments, the response times can be expected to be longer than the seven minutes expected of career fire departments. The public is encouraged to plan for a three-minute evacuation in case of a fire.

The campaign serves as a reminder of our personal responsibility for fire safety: the prevention of fires in the first place; the detection of smoke and fire with working smoke alarms as a second line of defense; and evacuation to safety by having a well-rehearsed fire escape plan as the third and most important action. We urge you to visit this unique, interactive website at www.3minutedrill.alberta.ca This site contains easily understood fire prevention and safety tips using a model house in cross-section. In addition, it provides smoke alarm and escape planning information.

HANLEY FIRE DEPARTMENT

The Councils for the RM of Rosedale and Town of Hanley are considering re-organizing how the Fire Board is administered. Watch in the upcoming Hermes for more updates.

Remember, you can help support the Hanley Rosedale Fire Department through donations and the 50/50 lottery.

The community is saddened by the passing of our Fire Chief, Darren Grindheim.

Darren was an enthusiastic volunteer who, along with the volunteer firefighters, has been raising funds for extra equipment and a new Fire Hall. Les Kroeger has stepped back in as an interim Fire Chief to ensure continuous coverage and Shawn McCormick has been helping with project management for the construction of the new Fire Hall.

ANIMAL CONTROL Animal Control Officer’s (ACO) duties and responsibilities Cat & dog licenses must be obtained at the Town Office prior to Feb. 1. The ACO will review unpaid licenses after that date and begin enforcement of the licenses so please be a responsible pet owner and purchase your license prior to Feb. 1. If the ACO receives a written complaint, she will act on that written complaint; for example: animal running at large, continuous barking (which by definition means that during a 15 or 20 minute interval, the dog does not stop and is be-tween the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.), accumulation of animal feces. The written complaints will more legitimate if accompanied with proof of an offence, for example pictures or audio or video recording. The ACO has a form by which a written complaint can be filed. Social media has become an excellent way for owners to be reunited with their pet without having to involve the ACO. Please be a responsible pet owner and don’t let your animal run at large, defecate on other people’s property or bark excessively. The identity of the complainant will be kept confidential to protect the innocent. In the event that an animal is turned in to the ACO or the ACO has collected a pet, she will impound the pet in a cage within her yard and care for that pet till such time as the owner is found and the owner has paid the impound fees and any fines incurred at the Town Office during regular office hours, The owner will then take the receipt to the ACO for proof of payment to collect their pet. If there is a seizure of animals, in violation of the Animal Control Bylaw, will be per-formed in cooperation of the RCMP. Please be a responsible pet owner so your pet does not have to be impounded. Im-pound fees are as follows: $25 per incident and $25 per day (in addition to the impound charge); charges and rates are based on a 24 hour period, 12:00 p.m. to 12:00 p.m. The Town has available a cat trap which can be rented for a refundable deposit of $50. Contact the Town Office for this service. If a cat is trapped, the ACO will deal with it as an impounded animal. If an animal is surrendered to the ACO, a fee will e charge to the owner in the amount of $70 plus any fee charged by the SSPCA.

FIRE PROTECTION

Grass fires can start quickly, spread rapidly and burn very hot, making them especially danger-

ous. If you see a grass fire, report it immediately by

dialing 911. That will help local firefighters get to the scene as quickly as possible.

To Report a CONTROLLED BURN CALL 1-866-404-4911

(The number is answered 24/7 - 365 days)

EMERGENCY PREPARDNESS Whenever some crisis happens, there is no time heft for preparation. However, if you are prepared to meet crisis before time, you will feel more comfortable to meet the emergency situations. Being prepared for emergencies or disasters is extremely important in this ever changing world. It is even more crucial for disable persons or peo-ple with special needs. The ability to successfully meet emergency situations is mainly dependent on prepared-ness before occurrence of any disaster. Though, being prepared doesn’t mean survivability, but, it greatly en-hances chances of your survival from any kind of trage-dy. However, you need to have essential items with you to cope with disaster situations. Here are steps from the survival guide to help you in some emergency situation: Step 1: Availability of Water Step 2: Availability of Food Step 3: Arrange for Shelter Step 4: Emergency Equipment Step 5: Time Killing Items

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH The Neighborhood Watch program is aimed at reducing crime in the community. It involves

getting to know your neighbors and introducing them to the concept of Neighborhood Watch -

that is, good neighbors working together, alert to the potential of crime and willing to look out for one another's interests. Neighbors working to-

gether through Neighborhood Watch can combat crime in their area in the most effective way -

before it starts. A police officer patrolling your community may not recognize a stranger inside your yard or an unusual vehicle in your neigh-

borhood, but your neighbors would.

NOTES FROM THE TOWN At our August Meeting: More letters were sent out to community members to remind them to tidy yards after receiving a written complaint and through daily inspections. Please remember to keep your areas tidy for your sake and your neighbors! Two policies were made with created standards for water line fittings and hydrants. By having standard fittings, the Foreman can keep some supplies on hand for quick replacement in emergencies. Three unpaid custom work invoices were approved to be added to the tax roll of the properties. An offer to purchase 2 empty lots was accepted. Due to the condition of the lots, the development requirement was waived. Cooltech Construction was reminded that the sidewalk in front of the building they are erecting must be replaced. At our September Meeting: New Councilor, Melissa Maddocks, elected by acclamation, swore her Oath of Office and was welcomed to Council. A delegate attended the meeting to discuss charges invoiced. Jennifer East was appointed as Animal Control Officer. Bylaws are to be drafted to amend the Animal Control Bylaw to accommodate her appointment. A letter was to be drafted to the Dundurn Rural Water Utility to the effect that following a four year water usage com-parison study, the Council has determined that the Town no longer requires the minimum 80 gallons per minute allot-ted and will request that this be reduced to 50 igpm effective Jan. 1/16. Councillor Townsend planned to attend a grant writing workshop offered in Dundurn. The CAO was approved to at-tend a Municipal Financial and Yearend Accounting information workshop in Regina and a SUMAssure Educational Workshop covering Risk Assessment in Rosetown. A subdivision application was reviewed with recommendation for approval made and will proceed with zoning amendment. Utility arrears were discussed with users with 90 day arrears to have discontinued service. A letter was to be sent to the RM of Rosedale reminding that pursuant to The Hazardous Substances and Waste Dan-gerous Goods Regulations, a permit must be obtained from the Ministry of Environment to place a diesel storage tank on property located within the Town limits with a copy of the permit deposited with the Town. The October regular meeting has been changed to October 13, 2015 due to Thanksgiving. The Council adopted a bylaw to name the road on the westernmost edge of the commercial development “West Grid Road”. Since that time, a new suggestion was brought to Council so this will be reviewed at the next regular meeting. A holiday day was approved for the CAO on September 18. Membership fees to the Saskatchewan Parks & Recreation Association were discussed and if it could be determined that membership would be a benefit to the Town, they be paid, otherwise defer the membership to the Hanley Seniors. Since the Council meeting, it has been deferred to the Hanley Seniors. Over the summer: A new transfer station building was moved out to its new home so the operator has a comfortable place to do his pa-perwork during regular hours of operation. The Fire Hall project is finally taking off with the footings poured Oct. 1. The structural materials have been ordered so you should see them arrive soon. The Water System Assessment Draft Report was received and reviewed by the Town Water Operator and CAO. The review was then resubmitted to ECO Engineering and has been returned for a second review. Following the comple-tion of this report, it will be submitted to our Environmental Project Officer for review and the Water Security Agency for final approval. This assessment is required every 5 years. Saskatoon Fire and Flood finally fixed the hole in the wall in the Town Office which was damaged during the crime incident. With that wall looking so good with a new paint job, the Clerk and CAO got busy and painted the remaining walls and trim. It has given the Town Office a fresh look!
